METHOD AND MEANS FOR APPLYING EYE MOUNTINGS IN DOLL HEADS.

Application filed January 22, 1925. Serial No. 3,931.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEO J. GRUBMAN, a citizen of the United States, andresident of BelleHarbor, Long Island, county of Queens, and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods andMeans for Applying Eye Mountings in Doll Heads, of-which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to a method and means for applying eye mountingsin doll heads and has for its primary object to prw vide an improvedmethod for facilitating the application of the fulcrum means of theoscillatory eye mounting to the wall of the doll head, whereby thespaced eye members will be properly centered with respect to the eyesockets of the doll head for the pur-;

pose of realistically simulating the opening and closing movements ofthe human eye.

It is also another object of my present invention to provide a simpleand inexpensive tool adapted for manual operation to simultaneouslyproduce the fulcrum seats in opposite sides of the doll head wall. Ashereinafter explained, the tool may either be constructed to seat theends of the indi vidual fulcrum pins for the eye mounting in the wall ofthe doll head, whereby the mounting is suspended from the pins foroscillatory movement, or such tool may be constructed to provide thewall of the doll head with bearing seats for the reception of suchfulcrum pins to be subsequently ap plied in operative position.

It is also an object 'of my present improvements to provide a method andmeans for the application of oscillatory eye mountings in doll headswhich does not require the exercise of any special skill for thesuccessful operation thereof, thus enabling the manufacturer toappreciably reduce the production cost of sleeping dolls.

\Vith the above and other objects in view. the invention ,consists inthe improved method of. applying eye mountings in doll heads and in thenew tool whereby such method may be satisfactorily performed as will behereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings and subsequently incorporated in the subjoined claims. y

In the drawings wherein similar reference characters designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views,

F'gure 4 is a plan view illustrating an alternative embodiment of thetool,

Figure 5 is a side elevation thereof, and

Figure 6 is an end elevation of said al ternative construction.

The tool or means for applying the eye mounting in the doll head, asillustrated in its preferred embodiments in the accompanying drawings,is particularly designed for use in connection with an eye mounting ofthe construction described and claimed in my Patent No. 1,540,522,issued June 2, 1925, and therefore I have illustrated and shall laterdescribe in a general way, an eye mounting of such construction.However, it is contemplated and should be un derstood that neither thetool nor the method of application of the mounting within thedoll headis necessarily restricted in its utility to an eye mounting of thisparticular type.

With the above understanding, my pres ent improvements may now bedescribed with reference to the accompanying draw ings'and for thepresent, more particularly to Figures 1, 2 and 3 thereof, wherein I haveshown a tool consisting of a supporting body, generally indicated at 5,and which may be of any preferred form or shape. At its upper end, thetool body or standard 5 is provided with an arm 6, projecting from oneside thereof, said arm being formed in its upper surface with alongitudinally extending channel or guidway 7. This guideway extends theentire length of said arm and likewise in the upper face of thesupporting standard 5, and at the endof the arm 6, at each side of saidguidewa'y, said arm is provided with a vertically extending slot 8therein. In each of these slots a plate 9 is located and securely fixedby the transverse riv'ets, bolts, screws or analogous fastening elements10. Each plate 9 projects above the upper surface of the arm 6, andintermediate of its ends is provided with a recess 11 in its upper edge.At its outer end, a longitudinally-projecting lug 12 is formed upon theupper edge of the plate, said lug being spaced above the upper surfaceof the arm 6.

In the channel 7, a slide bar 13 is positioned, said bar being retainedin the channel by a cap plate It extending over said bar and fixed bysuitably threaded bolts or screws 15 to the supporting body or standard5 of the too]. One end of this slide bar carries cam means for actuatingfulcrum seat forming pins. As shown in Figure l of the drawings, in oneform of the device, this cam means may be provided upon a plate 16 fixedto one end of the slide bar 13, said plate having a relatively narrowneck 17 projecting longitudinally therefrom beyond the end of the slidebar and said neck portion merging into a gradually widening head 18.Thus, the cam surfaces 19 are produced upon opposite sides of the neck17 and head 18. The end of the head 18 at its underside has a bevelledor downwardly inclined surface 20, the purpose of which will hereinafterappear.

Any convenient means may be provided for actuating the slide bar 13, butfor this purpose I have herein shown a vertically positioned handoperated lever 21, pivoted at its lower end, as at 22, upon the toolbody This lever extends through a slot 23 in the rear end of the slidebar 13 and is coniined therein by the transverse pin 24, said levercoacting with said pin and with the rounded or convex bearing surface 25at the inner end of the slot 23 for the reciprocation of the slide bar13 in relatively opposite directions.

For the purpose of understanding the manner of application of the eyemounting to the tool, the mounting as shown in my copending applicationabove referred to will be herein described in a general way. Thus, asshown, the mounting consists essentially of a frame plate 31, which maybe conveniently produced in theform of metal stamping. This stampingconsists of a substantially U-shaped body having parallel arms connectedat one of their ends by an obliquely disposed weighted portion 32 of theframe plate. Each of theframe arms 33 is provided on its opposite edgeswith an angularly projecting -ear 34 and in these ears the axiallymovable fulcrum pins for the respective eye members 36 are ongaged.Between the rear edge of each eye member and the frame arm, alongitudinally" slotted leaf spring 37 is interposed, said spring beingbowed and hearing at its intermediate portion on the frame plate, whilethe ends thereof are engaged over the rear edge of the eye mem er atdiametrically opposite points. The frame arm has spaced longitudinalslots therein to receive the upper edge portions of the plate 9 atopposite sides of the recess 11 therein, said upper edge portions of theplate also engaging in the slot of the leaf spring 37, while said framearm at its juncture with the oblique portion 32 of the frame is engagedunder the lug .20 and between said lug and the upper surface of the toolarm 6. As herein shown, each of the e e members 36 is in the form of ashell having diametrically opposed slots in the wall thereof whichreceive the fulcrum pin 35, said slots permitting of the yieldingmovement of the eye members independently of each other with respect tothe fulcrum pns and against the resistance of the springs 3 The frame ofthe eye mounting also carries a resiliently movable arm 38 fixed at oneof its ends to the part 32 of the frame and extending longitudinallybetween the arms 33 thereof. This resiliently movable arm 38 at its freeend is provided with rigid lugs or ears 39 on its opposite side edgesand with a similar lug 40 on its end edge disposed on a plane at rightangles to the lugs 39.

In positioning the eye mounting upon the tool, the frame arms are heldat an angle to first engage the lugs 12 of the plates 1) through theinner longitudinal slots in said frame arms. Said arms are then moveddownwardly and at the same time shifted longitudinally in an inwarddirection upon the tool arm 6, so as to position said frame arms on theupper surface of the arm 6 at opposite sides of the channel 7 thereinand with portions of said frame arms positioned in the recesses 11 andbeneath the lugs 12 of the plates 9. Thus, the mounting will be securelyheld in position upon the arm 6 of the tool. When so positioned, it willbe noted that the rear edges of the eye shells or members 36 are incontact upon the upper edges of the plates 9.

In applying the tool mounting in proper position within the doll head,the head indicated at H is positioned over the tool arm and the eyemounting thereon and the walls of the eye sockets of said doll head,shown at S, are engaged in contacting relation upon the peripheralsurfaces of the respective eye members 36, the upper and lower edges ofthe eye socket walls being accurately positioned relative to the iris,which is painted on the surface of the eye member. Thus it will beunderstood that the head is manipulated until the eyes are in the,position which they should occupy when open relative to the walls of theeye sockets.

After the head has been properly positioned as just described, the slidebar 13 is retracted by the operation of the lever 21. As shown inFigures 1 and 2, it will be noted that the resilient arm 38 is held indepressed position by the engagement of the lug 40 thereon against theunder side of the cam plate 16. WVhen the slide bar is retracted,

the cam edges 19 of the neck 17 and the head 18, on the end of the plate15, successively coacting with the inner opposed ends of the pins 35,simultaneously project said pins axially in relatively oppositedirections through the openings in the eye members 36 and the ears 34 onthe mounting, whereby the outer pointed ends of these fulcrum pins areimpaled or embedded in the wall of the the doll head H, at the oppositesides thereof. Thus, the seats for these fulcrum pins are accuratelylocated in the doll head wall in proper relation to each other and tothe eye sockets S, although it may be possible that the centers of theseeye sockets are out of alignment. At the end of the retracting movementof the slide bar 13, the end lug 40 on the resilient arm 38 rides uponthe inclined surface 20 of the cam head 18, said resilient arm thusspringing upwardly to its normal position, whereby the lugs 39 on saidarmare interposed between the inner ends of the fulcrum pins and act asstops, preventing inward movement of these pins towards each other andobviating any possibility of the other ends of said fulcrum pinsbecoming disengaged from their-seats in the wall'of the doll head.

After the mounting has thus been applied within the doll head, the dollhead is lifted and the eye mounting removed from the tool arm by thereversal of the movements used in'positioning said mounting on the arm.As above noted, when the eye mounting was arranged upon the tool arm theplates 9 engaged the rear edges of the eye members, thus supporting saidmembers in their normal positions and in definite relation with respectto the fulcrum pins 35. Therefore, t will be apparent that when the dollhead is positioned, bearing pressure of the eye socket walls upon therespective eye members in the operation of accurately adjusting thelocation of said eye members in the respective eye openings will nottend to force the eye members inwardly relatively to the pins 35 andcompress the springs 37 It will thus be understood that owing to theprovision of these supporting plates 9 for the eye members, when thehead with the attached mounting is removed from the tool arm, the eyemembers may have a receding movement from the walls of the eye socketsand with respect to the pins 35, such movement of the eye members beingyieldingly cushioned by the springs 37. Thus, the leaf springs 37 cannow act upon the individual eye members to maintain the requisite degreeof pressure upon the walls of the eye sockets and to yieldinglytransmit'the oscillatory movements of the eye mounting to said eyemembers.

Owing to the yleldmg relative movement between the eye members and therespective fulcrum pins therefor, these members will automaticallyaccommodate themselves to any structural unevenness or inaccuracies inthe walls of the eye sockets, thereby obviating possibility of bindingof the eye members upon said walls which would result in an impeded orsluggish oscillation of the eye members and destroy the realisticsimulation of the movements of the human eye.

It will be immediately perceived by those familiar with the art, thatowing to the new method of applying the eye setting in operativeposition within the doll head, as above explained, considerable time andlabor is saved in properly and accurately positioning the eye memberswith respect to the walls of the eye sockets, and although suchapplication may be readily made by unskilled labor, a high degree ofaccuracy in fixing the fulcrum points for the mounting on the spacedsurfaces of the doll head and thereby establishing such relationship ispossible. In other words, instead of first mounting the eye settingwithin the doll head and fixing the fulcrum means thereof in relation tothe doll head, and thereafter attempting to adjust the respective eyemembers in proper relation to the eye sockets, I propose to firstaccurately position the walls of the eye sockets with respect to theiris portion of the" respective eye members, and thereafter fix thelocation of the fulcrum means for the eye setting with respect to thewall of the doll head. Thus, in the latter case, it will be seen thateven though the centers of the eye sockets may be out ofproperhorizontal align ment with each other, and likewise at differentdistances from the rear wall of the doll head, nevertheless, theindividual fulcrum pins for the respective eye members will be properlylocated and fixed in position so that each of said eye members will haveits peripheral. surface properly located with respect to the wall of theeye socket with which it is associated, so that its free and unretardedoscillation will be assured.

lVith the methods heretofore used in the application of such, eyesettings, in those cases where the eye sockets were inaccurately formed,with their centers out of alignment, it was found to be practicallyimpossible to properly adjust the respective eye members after thefulcrum means for the setting is positioned in relation to the wall ofthe doll head, whereby an accurate and realistic movement of the eyemembers in the respective sockets could be obtained. 1

In view of the above it will further be apparent that I may, if desired,first fix or accurately locate the fulcrum receiving seats on the spacedsurfaces of the doll head wall, and thereafter mount or arrange the eyesetting within said head and engage the individualfulcrum pins in saidseats. In Figprovided with a longitudinally extending slide barreceiving channel 7 as in the construction first described, and atopposite.

' sides of this channel, at the outer end of the arm, the dummy eyemembers 36 are mounted. As herein shown, each of these members has arounded semispherical surface approximately corresponding in diameter tothe diameter of eye setting, said members 36' being formed or suitablyfixed upon one end of the rod or bolt 41, which is inserted through avertical opening formedin the arm 6, a suitable nut 42 being threadedupon the lower end of said bolt. Each of the members 36 is provided withan open: iug 43 extending horizontally therethrough at right angles tothe line of movement of the slide bar 13 and intersecting thegeometrical center of said member. A fulcrum seat forming element 44 isaxially movable through each of these openings 43. In the resentinstance, I have shown the seat formlng elements in the form of metalpins having reduced portions terminating in the seat forming )oints 45.Each of said pins at its other end is provided with a downwardlyprojecting lug 46. These lugs are engaged in the spaced cam slots 48formed in the plate 47 fixed upon the end of the slid: bar 13. It willbe noted that the longitudi nally extending cam slots 48 convergetowards each other from their inner to their outer ends, and when thelugs 46 of said pins are engaged in the outer ends of said slots, asshown in Figure 4 of the drawings, the seat forming elements are intheir retracted positions with respect to the members 36, or, at thelimit of their inward movement.

In the use of the above described tool, the doll head is engaged overthe tool arm 6' and the walls of the eye sockets thereof are roperlyseated upon the rounded perip eral surfaces of the members 36'. Afterthe proper contacting relation of the eye socket walls on said membersis secured, the slide bar 13 is moved outwardly in the channel of thearm 6 by the proper manipulation of the lever or other operating meansfor said slide, whereby the walls of the cam slots 48 by their coactionwith the lugs 46 on the inner ends of the respective pins 44, move thepins axially under pressure in relatively op positedirections throughthe openings of the members 36 and project their pointed ends 45 intothe surfaces of the doll head wall at the opposite sides thereof, thusforming in said surfaces conical seats in which the similarly shapedends of the fulcrum pins for the eye setting may subsequently beengaged. By then retracting the slide 13,

the pins 44 may be drawn inwardly towards each other from their formerpositions and disengaged from the conical seats which have been formedthereby in the doll head wall. The doll head may then be removed. Inthis manner, it will be obvious that the fulcrum receiving seats may berapidly and accurately located in the doll heads and said doll headsthen passed to another workman, who fits or applies the eye settingstherein. Since the radius of the individual eye members of the eyesettings is the same as the radius of the semispherical surfaces of themembers 36, the spherical surfaces of the eye members will bear exactlythe same relationship to the walls of the eye sockets as the surfaces ofsaid members 36 bore to said walls when the fulcrum receiving seats wereformed in the surfaces of the head wall. Therefore, it will be seen thatby the use of either of the tools herein described, which involves thefundamental principle of locating the proper points for the fulcrumreceiving seats by first positioning the eye socket walls upon thesemispherical surfaces of the spaced eye members or their equivalents,the desired accuracy in the mounting of the eye setting may be realized,whereby the free oscillation of the respective eye members in properrelation to the wall of the eye socket with which it is associated willbe obtained. In such oscillating movements, a very realistic simulationof the opening and closing movements of the human eye is pro duced.Moreover, it will be apparent that by means of my new method andthetool, which I have devised for use in the practice thereof, thequantity production of such sleeping dolls may be greatly increased witha corresponding saving in manufacturing cost.

From the foregoing description considered in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction, manner of operation and theseveral advantages of the embodiments of the invention herein disclosedwill be clearly understood. In so far as the new method of applying theeye in pro or position is concerned, it is apparent t at othermechanical means than that herein pfarticularly referred to might beemployed. owever, I find that a tool, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, isof great convenience and may be operated with maximum rapidltytoaccurately fix the fulcrum means for the eye setting in position.Nevertheless. it is to be understood that both this tool construction aswell as that shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings, is susceptibleof embodiment in other alternative structures. Accordingly I reserve theprivilege of adopting all such legitimate changes thereof as may beembodied within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
